I understand that every child is unique, and I tailor my approach to support each child’s developmental, emotional, and educational needs Whether it’s establishing routines, preparing healthy meals, organizing engaging activities, helping with homework, or encouraging social and emotional development, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care every day. I have experience working with busy professional families and understand the importance of being reliable, organized, flexible, and maintaining complete confidentiality I enjoy planning age\-appropriate educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping children build confidence, independence, and positive manners. I hold professional childcare certifications, including CPR and First Aid certification, and I remain committed to following the highest safety standards. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.

I am highly recommend Sandra R. to anyone needing childcare based on her time working with our family as an after-school caregiver and driver for our son. Sandra was responsible for picking up our 5-year-old son from preschool each weekday and safely transporting him home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine care for our child. Before accepting the position, Sandra requested to meet our family in person, which immediately showed her commitment to ensuring a good fit and establishing trust with both parents and child. Throughout the time she worked with us, Sandra was exceptionally dependable. She was always punctual and, most importantly, she never canceled on us. As working parents, knowing we could count on her every day provided tremendous peace of mind. On the rare occasions when our plans changed unexpectedly, Sandra was flexible and accommodating, making every effort to help us adjust on short notice. Sandra has a natural ability to connect with children. She consistently engaged our son in conversation, making the daily pickup and ride home an enjoyable experience rather than just a transportation service. He looked forward to seeing her each day and was always comfortable in her care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. In addition to being reliable and caring, Sandra frequently went above and beyond what was expected. On several occasions, she thoughtfully brought homemade food for our family, a gesture that reflected her kindness and generosity. Her warmth and dedication were evident in everything she did. Sandra was always professional, trustworthy, and safety-conscious. Her background in education and extensive childcare experience were apparent in the way she interacted with our child and handled her responsibilities. We always felt confident that our son was in safe and capable hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sandra to any family seeking a dependable, caring, and experienced caregiver. She has been a wonderful support to our family, and I am confident she will be an asset to any household fortunate enough to work with her. Sincerely, Craig Pearl River, NY

Lizzy was very responsive to us and very kind to our boy. She made sure there was everything to know about our 22 month old and she delivered on her promise of taking care of him. Sadly this was a one time thing since we are not from NJ. If otherwise I would definitely hire her as our regular nanny. Hopefully next time we visit NJ she’ll be around.

We are so lucky to have Laila care for our 3-month-old baby girl! She is very warm and kind. She was able to quickly soothe my baby and help her fall asleep for a nap. Our baby felt so safe and comfortable sleeping in her arms. It's obvious that Laila is highly experienced with infants. She is truly an amazing nanny, and I highly recommend her!

Cynthia was our nanny for 1.5 years. She developed an instant bond with our baby. She was attentive, organized playdates, and became a great friend to our whole family. We trusted her completely, and we never hesitated leaving our baby with Cynthia. We miss her so much and wish we still lived nearby. Any family is lucky to have Cynthia as their nanny.

I’ll take the night shift while you get some sleep! Hi! I'm a TV News Producer and mom to two princess-loving toddlers. I stepped away from the TV industry last year to focus on raising my girls (and finally ditch that Manhattan commute)! I have 22 years of childcare experience and I’m a mom, so I know how important it is to find the right person you can trust and rely on to care for your children. I take that responsibility seriously and will always make thoughtful, smart, and quick decisions to ensure your little ones are safe, happy, and thriving. I am also an extension of you — my caregiving style mirrors the way you choose to raise your children, and I am here for support and to provide a helping hand… the kind every mama needs from time to time. A little about me: I grew up in Fair Lawn and now live in Hawthorne with my husband and daughters, where we love being a part of the Hawthorne community. My nurturing nature and desire to help other families has carried with me through more than two decades of working with children, even while managing a full time professional career. Running a newsroom and managing an indoor kids mini golf course for years also helped my organizational and management skills shine — and I can plan a birthday party or major event in my sleep! I have certifications in newborn and infant care, a car with two infant car seats installed just in case, and all background checks are completed and clean. Background checks are renewed every 90 days, so I’m happy to provide you a copy instantly, along with wonderful references and my professional résumé, upon request. I am also happy to make my Instagram (@carasayssmile) public upon request, so you can get a true glimpse into my life beyond this profile!

My son had lots of fun with Cara and is now asking when she will come back to play with him. He warmed up to her immediately, and she handled his mealtime and bedtime routine with ease. Highly recommend!!
